Heart Love

I have a thing about hearts, always I mean not just because it's Valentines Day, I am collector of hearts and have them hanging up all over my home. I have had the urge to create fabric hearts for some time now, but although I do love sewing and have dabbled on and off through the years I'm not that great at it and I always end up doing battle with my sewing machine read here so these hearts were to be mostly hand sewn. I think the thing that really pushed me was Aldi were selling fabulous fat quarters for a great price. I bought two! I have never bought a fat quarter in my life I have to say this is certainly a venture into the unknown I can see a stash of fabric gracing my home alongside the yarn stash before very long.I even got out the embroidery threads and had fun sewing little designs on to some of them....

What do you think? I hope that you have noticed I even tried a patchwork one there 😊

These have been gifted already the pink one for a friend on her birthday and the other to a special male friend, we don't do Valentines Day but just to show him I care.I will be gifting another one today to a friend who is recovering from an operation. Hearts can say so much don't you think? I'm just getting started I think that there will be lots more fabric hearts in my future.Happy Valentines Day to you all! xx

I totally agree, hearts for all year round! I had no idea Aldi have fat quarters sometimes. I often pick up wool in there, they don't have it in often but when they do the quality and price is great. I need to look out for fabric too obviously! Thanks for the tip and the pretty ideas.

If I hadn't read earlier that you and sewing don't really like each other, I would've thought you had been sewing all your life. Each and every one of your hearts are so pretty. Love the embroidery you have stitched too. I think you sell yourself far too short, lovely Linda. These hearts are beautiful.

Thank you for your visit, I will always answer any questions but due to time constraints I'm not always able to reply to your comments, please keep them coming I read and appreciate each and every one. xx
